Command line utility does likewise:
viggo:~/>basename ./
.
Point is, I gather, that trailing slashes are removed, e.g.,
viggo:~/>basename foo/
foo
So, not a bug.
Indeed. The rationale is that foo/bar/ specifies a directory "bar" at
the path "/foo", hence the name is "bar" ("" would make no sense of
course).
